countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 i sold a 1600 x/flow on ebay about 3 months ago the guy has paid me but has never collected the engine and since i sold it i've had a new laptop so i dont have his contact details so how long do you think i should wait before relisting it?
antz Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 over 3 months he cant leave feedback or do anything. get it relisted
countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 over 3 months he cant leave feedback or do anything. get it relisted i know but i'd feel kind of bad seeing that he has paid for it
antz Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 dig out his contact details then... paypal if he used it, old emails to him, from him, ebay name under feedback or something....look hard enough and youll find it
Stu_B Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 Maybe he died! I worked with a guy who had a lovely old 5 series bimma on penta's. Can't remember what engine but it was sorted... he sold it to a guy who then died So he sold it again for half the price
countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 dig out his contact details then... paypal if he used it, old emails to him, from him, ebay name under feedback or something....look hard enough and youll find it nah he paid by cheque, i have no old emails due to having a new laptop cos my old one died, and no feedback has ever been left
countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 did the cheque clear ok? yep it cleared fine
Boreham Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 should be able to track the transaction on e bay surely. they'd have a record of the transaction.. if you raised an action/ dispuite on it he'd get the info... the guy might have carcked it.... who know's
FredTransit Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 There should still be a record on your ebay account though, look up the item number and it should show his ID. Send him a message through ebay and tell him if there is no contact from him in 7 days you will re list the engine. You never know, he might be in the same situation, waiting for you to contact him because he's lost your details.
countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 thanks for the advice but sadly i dont know the item number and ebay only seem to keep records fro 90 days and its been longer than that
surfingturnip Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 dig out his contact details then... paypal if he used it, old emails to him, from him, ebay name under feedback or something....look hard enough and youll find it nah he paid by cheque, i have no old emails due to having a new laptop cos my old one died, and no feedback has ever been left if he paid by cheque then google him for Retards Club, myspace etc long shot but worth a try
countrybumpkin Posted October 30, 2008 Author Report Posted October 30, 2008 i dont know his name and dont have a copy of the cheque my record keeping is not so great
Admin Vista Posted October 30, 2008 Admin Report Posted October 30, 2008 I'd flog it but if he comes looking for it then you need to be prepared to refund his money (less a storage fee) as technically it's not yours to sell anymore (I guess)
flyingbanana Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 have you deleted all emails received when listing the engine, sold etc? ........ebay likes sending emails ....so i would check their incase you didnty delete them
aaron735 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Posted October 30, 2008 hi bumpkin completly forgot about the xflow i won on ebay and when id rememberd id lost your contact details any chance on collecting this weekend did that work or have i been rumbled hehe
capriaddict Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 i sold a 1600 x/flow on ebay about 3 months ago the guy has paid me but has never collected the engine and since i sold it i've had a new laptop so i dont have his contact details so how long do you think i should wait before relisting it? I assume he paid you 3 months ago? If so then he either doesn't want it anymore and is so rich he can afford to waste money, or he's lost your contact details, or he's croaked it. If your still on ebay under the same user name then surely he would contact you via ebay asking where his engine is if he still wanted it ????? especially as he's paid for it ???
countrybumpkin Posted October 31, 2008 Author Report Posted October 31, 2008 have you deleted all emails received when listing the engine, sold etc? ........ebay likes sending emails ....so i would check their incase you didnty delete them i lost all my old emails when my laptop died so no i havent got any
